2-Position, 5.08mm Pitch — Board-to-Wire Power Header
The 350540-1: It mates with the corresponding receptacle to carry 12A per circuit at 250VAC — a solid power rating for a two-pole board-to-wire interconnect. Through-hole solder termination keeps the assembly straightforward for wave-solder lines.
12A at 250VAC — Current and Voltage Ceiling
Rated 12A per contact at 250VAC, this header sits at the higher-current end of the Commercial MATE-N-LOK range. The 105°C upper operating temperature limit covers most indoor and cabinet environments; derating above 25°C ambient follows the standard current-temperature curve for tin-plated contacts.
RoHS compliant per current directive.
Cross-Shop: 350540-1 vs. 1-2232960-3
The closest functional alternative within the same Commercial MATE-N-LOK family is 1-2232960-3 — a 3-position header at 2.50mm pitch, rated 2A at 50VAC. That part swaps to a rectangular tab contact and adds a board guide and glow-wire-compliant UL94 V-0 housing. For a 2-position, 5.08mm pitch, 12A application, 350540-1 remains the direct fit.
